I am curious if the SC10 gear diff will fit in the b4.1 tranny? And if so what do you guys think? If this has already been addressed my bad

0 hubs.

I just liked the way it rotates better.

Yeah that's what I've heard. Did you notice any loss in rear traction?

how would i fix an off power push? if i am on throttle its better but if i have to drive down in to the corner i have to wait forever to go back to the throttle.
softer front end? i have brown springs, 30wt oil inside on tower and arms, -1* degree camber. ride height is arm level

also what size limiter when they say 2? from what i have google and looked at they have diffrent size limiter.

You could always try inside tower outside on the arm. You'd need two limiters in there. Most people who run the inside of the arms normally use a stiffer spring and more limiters. I think the limiter number stands for mm..? someone correct me if i'm wrong.

i did not try moving stuff around. i do not get to practice as much now that i can not just go run. the info is good,
what are the limiters for? uptravel or down.

On the B4, limiters are basically just shims that are put on the shock shaft to limit the amount of extension the shocks have. When you move the shock inward on the tower or arm, you increase the downward droop the car has in that area. So when on power, if the shocks are limited in the front, it will keep the front end from lifting off the ground as much without them. This keeps weight transferred more on the front since less is being transferred to the back. It gives more exit steering from a corner. Like everything, when you make a change there is always a tradeoff. So usually if you move the shock positions outward you will want less limiters and vise versa. For onroad cars and many offroad nitro buggies, there is droop screws to limit this, but with our electric 2wd buggies there isn't so we have to adjust droop by adding shims to the shock shafts.

I was told earlier in the thread to order the SC10 ball diff for my RC10b4.1 as there was not a specific ball diff out for the RC10b4.1...

Is this not the case?

Is this still the case? I need to use the SC10 ball diff and this is the same as in the new b4.1 worlds car? "

I have the SC10 ball diff in my b4.1. AE told me to purchase that one because the outdrives would fit the bearings, previously being used by my gear diff.

This was talked about pretty well a few pages back

Current SC10 diff #'s
Gear - 9827 (RS manual)
Ball - 9853 (RS upgrade parts list)

Current B4.1 Diff #'s
Gear 9827 (FT upgrade parts list)
Ball 7678 (FT manual)

As long as you have the newest updated tranny case. any up there will work.
I know for a fact #9827 will fit in to a B4.1 FT tranny case without doing anything to it. I run that in my B4.1 FT
I know the 7678 will fit in a RS case. I did it for a little while.

B4.1 T4.1 sc10 all use the same ball or gear diff. PERIOD!

The older b4/t4 use different outdrives.
